Into the Cellar--2011 Zierfandler




The other bottle my Dearest brought back to me from his trip is a 2011 Zierfandler of the Thermen Region, by Leopold Aumann.  This one from Salzburg also.

Back of the bottle, actually

Here is what I found out about this wine...
This wine is also called Spätrot because its color only when entering berries are fully ripe reddish. Throughout Austria is found only around 100 hectares of vineyards. The Zierfandler is subjected to a slow, cool fermentation to preserve the special taste of the fruit. Was matured in steel tanks. Characterized a slight sweetness is obtained which is typical of this white wine. Fine citrus note, a lot of finesse, powerful elegance to the long finish. A Zierfandler the league.
